Hi to all...
I just want to share my experience about changing conditions on my spouse open work permit.
She was not allowed to work in healthcare services etc ( school, childcare ).
1. First step is to book an appointment with a panel of physicians ( the one in your area recomended in the CIC website ).
2. Medicals costed 338 $.
3. They submitted results in 10 days.
4. Called CIC agent about changing conditions on owp and he said that if u are from a visa exempt country, u can go to the border. If your country need a visa to enter in Canada , for changing conditions on owp we should apply in Alberta by paper or online.
5. We knew it would take a lot of time. Waited more than 1 month and than went/tried to USA border to flagpole.
6. Officer there issued a new wp without the conditions. No fee was required.
7. Its important to have with u passport, work permit, and the code IME recieved when u do medicals.

Hi, did you need a TRV to do a flagpole? I searched the CIC website and it's not necessary when visiting the US (not that you are really going to the US to do a flagpole). May I also know which border you went to? Thanks.

U dont need TRV. Thats why they call it flagpole.
U have the wp and u re-enter in Canada on that status.
U can go at any border u want ( important to have immigration services).
Depends where u live.
There are some border points that dont have immigration services, but those are some small ones in any rural area.
U must know that after medicals, it needs a month that the results are submitted to IRCC in the system.
